Razorbacks leave Hoover winless after power bug, defense bites Hogs

Peyton Holt's two homers ring hollow as Arkansas leave Hoover after two quick games, headed back for regional.

HOOVER, Ala. — Arkansas' coronation of starter Hagen Smith as the Razorback single-season strikeout leader is on ice for at least another game. The ace struck out just four in two innings in a 9-6 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats behind a trio of homers from Kentucky.

David Walling still clings to the record with 155 strikeouts when Van Horn pulled Smith after 36 pitches and just one time through the lineup. He allowed two unearned runs after the Wildcats ran havoc on the bases after a leadoff walk from Ryan Waldschmidt, forcing errors from Smith and Hudson White to give Kentucky an early 2-0 lead.

However, the Wildcats' Waldschmidt had another homer up his sleeve. After the Razorbacks committed its third error of the game, Waldschmidt hit homers in back-to-back at-bats to restore the Kentucky lead back to 8-4. The Wildcats added another run in the inning on a sac fly.
